Jesse-Jane McParland shot to fame as a finalist in Britain’s Got Talent 2015. After narrowly missing out on a place in the finals, JJ was brought back as a favourite by public vote. The then nine year old wowed judges and audiences alike with her thrilling performances, which combine sword work with kickboxing, kung fu and Tae Kwon Do. After her first performance on the show she received a standing ovation from all four judges, with Simon Cowell joking that he wanted the pint-sized phenomenon as his next bodyguard.
